So do I! I honestly can't think of any explanation for such a speed
difference.

Does it really? Why? A 16K buffer is perfectly capable of delivering MUCH
higher speeds of data in other circumstances so I don't think changing that is
needed.

Right, and that indiciates you did something wrong as it seems unlikely it
would stick to 16K usage if it can use more and you're doing high speed
transfers. Don't you agree?
